Combined intestinal and squamous metaplasia of the renal pelvis.

A case of combined squamous and intestinal metaplasia of the renal pelvis, associated with hydronephrosis, chronic pyelonephritis, and lithiasis, is reported. The changes are considered to be due primarily to mechanical irritation of the pelvic epithelium.

Tenosynovial fibroma.

Tenosynovial fibroma or angiofibroma of tendon sheath is a distinctive clinicopathological entity occurring mainly in young and middle-aged men and affecting dominantly the distal extremities. Fingers, hands and wrists are the site of 80 per cent of cases. Palmar aspects of hands and plantar aspects of foot are preferentially involved. The trunk and neck are seldom affected. They are generally small, firm, sometimes painful lesions attached to tendon sheath and/or tendon. The lesion must be distinguished from a variety of benign lesions including nodular fasciitis, angiomyoma and giant-cell tumour of tendon sheath. It can also be confused with sarcoma, including synovial sarcoma, because of the presence in it of characteristic slit-like spaces which have been identified as vascular rather than synovial spaces by virtue of the Factor VIII content of their lining cells.

Pilar tumour: a distinctive type of trichilemmoma.

A series of pilar tumours is presented. Although they are predominantly tumours of the elderly female, they occur also in men and in middle age. Some 90 per cent occur on the scalp or nape of neck; about 10 per cent affect other areas. Most tumours outside the scalp involve the trunk; they are rare on the extremities. Evidence is presented that most arise from pre-existing pilar cysts. Two tumours recurred, but were cured by re-excision. Four tumours exhibited histological and/or cytological criteria of malignancy. Two of these were interpreted as in situ carcinomas, and two as combined invasive and in situ carcinomas. None is known to have metastasized or to have behaved aggressively. The prognosis of pilar tumours in excellent whatever the histological appearance. The nature of the lesion and the problems of nomenclature associated with it are discussed.

[Contribution and limitations of peroperative radiotherapy combined with excision-curettage in the treatment of gastric cancers].

Macro- or microscopic residual tumor after surgery is the dominating prognostic factor in the treatment of gastric cancer. The majority of patients die of local recurrence and peritoneal spread. Therefore, in addition to gastrectomy and extended lymphadectomy (compartments 1 & 2) in some centers a adjuvant intraoperative radiotherapy is performed. Recent results of adjuvant intraoperative radiotherapy for gastric cancer revealed a lower local recurrence but there was no improvement in the survival rate for advanced tumor stages. These results are confirmed by our prospective study including 36 patients till now: in the group of 21 survivors there is no sign of a local recurrence. In 15 patients which died meanwhile there was only one case of local recurrence (median follow-up: 9 months, range 1-30 months). Peritoneal spread and liver metastasis were observed as the most frequent cause of death (tumor stage IIIB and IV only).
